Everytime when looks at the menu, JJ found out that there are many types of coffee.
Hmm.. JJ decided to find out the difference between them.
Caffè espresso, or just espresso is a concentrated coffee beverage brewed by forcing hot water under pressure through finely ground coffee. As a result of the pressurized brewing process, all of the flavors and chemicals in a typical cup of coffee are very concentrated. For this reason, espresso is the base for other drinks, such as lattes, cappuccino, macchiato and mochas.
Latte (It. "milk"): This term is an abbreviation of "caffe llatte" (or "caffè e latte"), an espresso based drink with a volume of steamed milk in approximately a 1:1 ratio. In Europe, "caffè Latte"" stems from the same continental tradition as "café au lait" in France, simply coffee with milk.
Cappuccino: Traditionally, one-third espresso, one-third steamed milk, and one-third microfoam. A cappuccino differs from a caffè latte in that it is prepared with much less steamed or textured milk than the caffè latte.
Caffè Macchiato (It. "stained"): A small amount of milk or, sometimes, its foam is spooned onto the espresso. In Italy, it further differentiates between caffè macchiato caldo (warm) and caffè macchiato freddo (cold), depending on the temperature of the milk being added. In France, known as a "Noisette". Latte macchiato (It. "stained milk"): Essentially an inverted cafè latte, with the espresso poured on top of the milk.
Mocha: Normally, a latte blended with chocolate. Like a latte, it is typically one third espresso and two thirds steamed milk, but a portion of chocolate is added, typically in the form of a chocolate syrup, although other vending systems use instant chocolate powder. Mochas can contain dark or milk chocolate.
